Mold contamination prompts water recall

The Kroger Co. is recalling purified water for babies due to a problem with mold.

The recalled item is Comforts for Baby Purified Water with Fluoride Added sold in one-gallon containers. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it has been found to be contaminated with Talaromyces penicillium. The mold cannot be detected by the naked eye.

The affected water jugs have sell-by dates between April 26, 2018, and Oct. 10, 2018, and were sold at various chains owned by the Cincinnati-based grocery store.
